City News Service reported that she suffered one stab wound to the chest and was rushed to Harbor UCLA Medical Center by paramedics. Yildirim,was announced in "serious" medical condition upon arrival, according to LAPD investigators.

During the investigation, detectives learned Yildirim was having a verbal dispute about money with another person before she was stabbed. The assailant wanted "better respect from the victim."

Upon further investigation, two suspects were arrested and charged with killing Yildirim. Edward Caballero and Gloria Caballero, both in their 30s, were given one count of murder -- but it was not confirmed that they were the ones who verbally threatened Yildirim that night.

Note: Due to technical difficulties, the LA Weekly's archive of all homicides within Los Angeles city limits was discontinued near the end of last year. We will be rolling out the 2011 homicides, one by one, until our "Murder was the Case" archive is up to date. Thanks for your patience.
